Hello, how are you?

I need to know if there is any way, in a railway project, to have a directory /public (or similar) where I can store static files, and they don't get deleted on every deploy.

I know there are services like s3, but due to my company's policies, I cannot store them in an external location.

Is there any way to solve this issue directly in railway, or will I have to migrate to another service provider?

Thank you in advance.

They are stored on the filesystem which is not recommended due to what Percy said.

there is not at the moment, persistent storage is getting worked on though, the current options are external storage provider, or not using railway 😦

Ouuhh ok, thanks for the answer

#

It would be a very good use case to add to Railway, or at the very least add it as a standalone service of Railway.
